Nonfiction Writers: You will feel at home here!
The fact is that nonfiction authors have long been a neglected community. Most writers’ groups and writers’ conferences focus on fiction. But if you’re a nonfiction author, your needs are different. Your marketing tactics are different, your sales process is different, and your goals are probably different.
Many nonfiction authors are also entrepreneurs, speakers, consultants, coaches, medical, financial and legal professionals, and service-based business owners. Writing and promoting a nonfiction book can be a phenomenal way to grow your business. The possibilities are truly endless and we can help you discover them!
You don’t have to do it alone. We can help you navigate your publishing journey.
In addition to our vibrant community, our members have access to a tremendous amount of educational content. In fact, we don’t know of another trade association-of any kind-that provides its members with as much educational content as NFAA!
